About Smallholder producers of India
In 2003, 70 smallholder farmers in the Santuario area organized in order to standardize cultivation and production practices, creating Asocafe Tatama cooperative. Producer members bring the literal fruit of their labors—ripe coffee cherries—to their own processing plant and their number has grown to approximately 206. Over time, the co-op has added its own quality control lab and roasting facility and has garnered awards and accolades for their coffees.
Member farmers typically cultivate between 5-15 hectares of land utilizing environmentally-friendly methods. Further, the co-op has developed an extensive infrastructure in the Risaralda region to help ensure quality throughout the farm-to-port supply chain as the exporter of Asocafe Tatama coffee. Their excellence has helped establish Santuario as one of the top coffee production zones in the region.

Drink Coffee Do Stuff
DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF is a specialty coffee roastery in Truckee, CA, conceived at 12,000 ft on the Saas-Fee glacier of the Swiss Alps. The vision for DCDS is rooted in the professional snowboarding career of founder Nick Visconti, who traveled the world crushing the snowboarding circuit and drinking coffee from Switzerland to Patagonia. This roving lifestyle birthed an intentional roasting company centered on the intersection of extraordinary coffee and extraordinary life.
Founded in 2017 in Visconti's hometown of Truckee, DCDS is distinguished by its focus on 'altitude coffee'—coffee grown on hill and mountain slopes throughout the equatorial zone and roasted at 6000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains—which results in a sweeter, more subtle cup. Relationships matter too at DCDS, not just because Visconti marks his friendships in coffee cups and boards, but because they are the foundation of a life lived well.
We all have the ability to live our own versions of an extraordinary life, and 2019 Good Food Award-winner DCDS celebrates this truth. As Visconti says, "We wear our hats backwards, live our lives forwards, and ride our boards downwards!"
